roof stalking?

I seen a screen shot of someone on a roof, will we be able to do this in-game?
Comments
Certainly can! You can climb, certain building and traverse across roof tops, I belive some quests might revolve around this, and the screens in question are based out of Tortage from the looks of it. Which is on the starting Island, so you learn your skills early in the game
Awsome! are you beta testing the game??
Funcom doesn't allow the breakage of NDA agreement, even to admit that your in beta. Infact I think that their NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) doesn't ever lift. But no I am not in Beta nor do I work for F.C.
If he was, he wouldn't be able to tell you squat about it I'm afraid. What he did just tell you is "relatively" public information. By relatively, I mean that one would have to do a lot of digging to find all of it.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

IM Looking forward to it. I always thought that most MMORPGs seem to build 3d, but think 2d. I believe the ability to climb onto structures vastly adds to the fun you can have in a MMORPG

Not that long, actually :P But, apparently, you're not able to climb on playerbuilt buildings?

- What archetype will you play?
I'd like to be able to climb objects within reason. If something is 20 feet high I'm obviously not going to climb it but maybe I can roll an ox cart over and stack a barrel or something... those are some of the things I'd like to see.. Also, let me climb trees, that should open up quite a bit of posibillities for entertainment.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

Not player built though, because Climbing requires static points on the server, and the walls like player built ones are dynamic objects.

A thread here asking about swimming on the official forum: http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=44713
If you read down a bit, you will see a guy who got to play the game in the recent Moscow showing and said he was in the water
"As i remember from Moscow presentation, you can swim underwater.
I jumped from the bridge to the sea and dove into it almost to the bottom."
Sweet stuff and yes it should be possible.
List of SOE lies
Climbing buildings is a very cool feature, i dont know of a MMO that has let you do that yet. That doesnt mean there isnt though so you dont have to name all of them.
And if Avery isnt in BETA or soon gets an invite Funcom should be ashamed of themselves. You provide so much info on this game they should be paying you.
Some of you should go start the AmazingAvery Fanbois AOC guild
Then, when the game comes out you can follow him around and be his entourage.

Just to update again.
Avery I think it's better if you actually go into the building instead of sitting on the roof.... after all it's called an INN not an OUT!

LoL I just had a funny thought. Can you receive damage from falling certain distances? As I was thinking how your avatar can get drunk and all and imagine if you got the bright idea to get drunk with your avatar...Well needless to say I'm sure there would be a few of us who would get the bright idea to climb the roof and jump off!
Another thought, if there is say a mage, or other ranged class on a cliff shooting down at your allies, could you say... push them off?? hehe be a nice addition to some stealth classes.

I believe that in the class previews they have talked about several classes having "knockback" attacks, so there ya go.

That sounds like awesome
Super jump is awesome.
Of course it has funky implications in the PvP. Its funny how in the comics all these super fast and super flying superheroes stand there and duke it out mano a mano. But when you make a game with that kind of stuff everyone actually uses their brains and jousts.
Its funny because they made the travel powers suppress because in the end speed and maneuverability are extremely powerful and people know it. They aren't the novel coolness that is forgotten about once the fighting happens that you see in the comic books. Yet people also want the fighting to work like the comic books with people dueling it out like heroes.
The travel powers are literally able to completely dominate the PvP of CoX, which if you look at the history of warfare makes a lot of sense.
The sad thing is most MMORPGs simply put the hammer down and disallow anything rather than try to come up with a way to put it in a way that works well.
CoX put it in for PvE. Afterall how can you make a super hero game without super speed and flying etc?
The very interesting thing is that clearly the CoX devs would probably have done the same thing as everyone else and simply put the kibosh on the whole thing, but due to the genre they simply couldn't completely mess with it. So while things like super speed jousting were neutered they are not completely destroyed.
And then there is EvE online which once again actually dealt the problem via gun tracking and a realistic use of speed and acceleration. And in the end this is the only real difference between Eve and other MMOs they actually come up with ways to make these things sane. Unfortunately I think may also be what makes the game so slow.
